First-Ever Subaru Plug-In Hybrid - 2019 Subaru Crosstrek

Oklahoma is often referred to as “Native America.” As residents of “Native America,” many Oklahomans have a unique affinity for the outdoors. This love for the outdoors might explain why so many Oklahomans have decided on the Subaru Crosstrek, as their vehicle of choice. The Subaru Crosstrek gives Oklahomans the ability to live-out their adventurous spirit. Adventures in the Crosstrek are about to change, like never before, in the upcoming 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. 

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is Subaru’s first-ever plug-in hybrid vehicle. The new Crosstrek Hybrid maintains all the capability of the traditional Subaru Crosstrek with increased fuel efficiency. It can be driven as a normal Hybrid, using both gas and electric power and eliminating range anxiety, or driven on pure electric drive for local commuting. 

The 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid is an advanced, eco-friendly version of the versatile compact SUV. The Crosstrek Hybrid is built around the Subaru Global Platform that was designed to accommodate hybrid and electric powertrains. The Crosstrek Hybrid combines the wide-ranging off-road capability of the gas-powered Crosstrek with hybrid efficiency. 

The 2019 Crosstrek combines a bold design and highly capable chassis with 8.7-in of ground clearance for versatility in both off-road and city driving. All 2019 Crosstrek models include seven airbags including driver and front passenger frontal airbags, side curtain airbags and side pelvis/torso airbags as well as a driver’s knee airbag. 

The second generation Crosstrek now has Subaru’s award winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology on all trim levels and received new features and services for SUBARU STARLINK In-Vehicle Technology. The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek will be offered in three trim levels: 2.0i base, 2.0i Premium and 2.0i Limited. 

The 2019 Crosstrek 2.0i CVT model is priced at $22,895 and now offers a new option package which includes EyeSight along with a high-grade instrument cluster. Equipped with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, the 2019 Crosstrek 2.0i Premium starts at $22,895. Stepping up to the Premium trim with Lineartronic CVT offers more optional equipment.  

The Crosstrek 2.0i Limited continues as the top of the model line with standard features over the Premium which now include CVT with X-MODE with Hill Descent Control; and SUBARU STARLINK 8.0-inch Multimedia Plus that adds Voice activated controls. The 2019 Limited is priced from $27,195. 

 Ferguson Subaru is expecting the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid to arrive at our Tulsa Metro, Subaru dealership sometime near the end of this year. With less time at the pump, the 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid will give you more time to spend in the great outdoors. We’re excited to bring the all-new Crosstrek Hybrid to Oklahoma!

The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek: The Winning Package

Many drivers, in the Tulsa Metro, are looking for a vehicle that is safe, reliable, and versatile. A significant portion of those drivers are finding the perfect combination of features in the Subaru Crosstrek. It's one of our favorite crossovers, here at Ferguson Subaru. Of course, we're a little bias, but don't just take our work for it. Read a few comments from some of our recent Crosstrek shoppers:

"First of all I want to say how awesome and professional my salesperson, Miguel, was in helping me find exactly what I wanted. It’s been a little over a month since I picked up my new Crosstrek. I enjoy driving the Crosstrek more and more every day. I highly recommend Subaru!"
- Ryan M. 

"I had a Subaru for 10 years and when it was time to get a new car I knew another Subaru was the right choice for me. I love my new Crosstrek. My salesman, Jeremy, was very helpful explaining all the smart safety features of my new car. Thank you Jeremy and Ferguson Subaru!"
- Maureen M. 

"I worked with James on buying my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. James was extremely knowledgeable as well as helpful in the car buying process. I’ve only had my crosstrek for a week now but I’m loving it and getting great gas mileage!"
- Mattias R. 

"I love my Crosstrek! Eddie Turner helped me find my forever car, the one that suits my personality and lifestyle best! I had an incredibly smooth transaction buying this car. These guys are the best!"
- Shannon B.

Apart from our praise, and the praise of our customers, industry experts are also singing the tune of the Subaru Crosstrek. The 2018 Crosstrek has recently earned a KBB.com "5-Year Cost To Own" award, and recently earned an "Editors' Choice" award by Car and Driver. [1]

Car and Driver had the following to say about the 2018 Crosstrek, "the Crosstrek’s standard all-wheel drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance set the stage for adventure."  [1]

KBB.com explained their reasoning for giving their "5-Year Cost To Own" award stating, "from the little things -- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard at every level -- to the big -- standard all-wheel drive -- everything about the Subaru Crosstrek lines up to make it our 5-Year Cost to Own Awards winner. It also doesn't hurt that the Crosstrek maintains its value over time." [2]

2017 SUBARU OUTBACK NAMED TO U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT’S BEST NEW CARS FOR TEENS

Perhaps the Subaru commercial, above, best sums up how parents feel when their kids grow up and begin to drive. The commercial shows a father giving driving instruction to his little girl -who, in reality, isn't so little anymore. 

As children grow up and begin to drive, many parents think back to when their child took their first baby-steps. Most parents find this transition difficult, as they think back to all the stumbles and falls their child took as they learned to walk - and now they are driving! 

There are other statistics out there that make this process even harder for parents. One of those being a study conducted by AAA [1] that states half of teen drives admit to texting while driving. 

For all the parents of teen drivers, U.S. News & World Report as recently released their list of the 2017 'Best New Cars for Teens' [2]. This list may help alleviate some of that fear and anxiety. 

Not surprisingly, Subaru has made the list! The 2017 Outback was named to U.S. News & World Report’s Best New Cars for Teens for accident prevention and crash protection technologies as well as overall quality. 

To be named one of the Best New Cars for Teens, a vehicle must have the best combination of reliability ratings, crash test scores, available advanced driver assistance features and top critics’ recommendations in the U.S. News Best Car rankings in its pricing category. 

The 2017 Subaru Outback's proven combination of award-winning safety technology, standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, and exemplary fuel efficiency help the SUV secure its spot on U.S. News & World Report’s Best New Cars for Teens 2017 list. 

One of the 2017 Outback industry-leading safety technology features is its Reverse Automatic Braking system. The Reverse Automatic Braking system helps the driver avoid a possible collision when the vehicle is moving in reverse. The system uses four ultrasonic sonar sensors located in the rear bumper cover and can automatically stop the vehicle. 

U.S. World News & World Report had the following to say about the 2017 Outback, "Subaru is one of only a few brands that offer a rear automatic braking system, so if your teen backs up without looking, the Outback can stop itself to prevent a collision...It’s hard to argue against the Outback as a top-notch choice for teenage drivers." [3]

Ferguson Subaru is Oklahoma's #1 Subaru dealer. We have a large selection of the 2017 Subaru Outback and 2018 Subaru Outback! We encourage all Oklahoma parents who are looking for a safe, reliable vehicle for their teenager, to come test-drive the Subaru Outback.

Subie Sunday 2017

Ferguson Subaru has been a long-time partner of Broken Arrow's Ruts N' Guts. On June 25, 2017 Ferguson Subaru strengthened our partnership with the Ruts N' Guts team by hosting the first annual "Subie Sunday"! 

For the first time, Ferguson Subaru sponsored the Oklahoma State Category Crit Championship. With a full day of bike races, sanctioned by the Bicycle Racing Association OK (BRAOK), the event was packed full of fun and excitement. BRAOK is a statewide membership organization whose mission is to educate, promote and enhance the sport of amateur bicycle racing in the State of Oklahoma. 

The event drew bike racers from Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and more. Whether spectators were into bike racing or not, the event included fun activates for all-ages. Free bounce houses and snow cones were on site! All proceeds went to benefitting the Oklahoma Bike Club. 

Ferguson Subaru hopes the success of the first-ever Subie Sunday continues into the future. We're proud to help promote bicycle racing in Oklahoma, and are honored to partner with great organizations such as Ruts N' Guts. 

2017 Impreza Earns Spot on AutoTrader's 'Must Test-Drive' Award, Continuing The Redesigned Sedan's Hot Streak

Subaru gave the Impreza a complete overhaul, for model year 2017. Subaru promised the 2017 Impreza would deliver significantly higher levels of driving pleasure, and boy has it delivered! 

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has quickly become a favorite among our Tulsa area shoppers. Just read what one excited, new Impreza owner had to say about their new Subaru:
"We will never buy from another place again! Ferguson Subaru and their amazing staff got us into a car that checked all of our needs and every one of our wants. We looked back in November and met Chester our sales guy. He was great then and when we came back last week he still remembered my list of absolutes. During financing we never felt like we couldn't afford to be there. It was what can we do for you not what could we do for them. Because of all of that we are now the proud owners of a 2017 Subaru Impreza! It is sporty and fun, but the safest car I have ever driven. Subaru will be the only brand we buy for our kids when they start driving, and that says a lot! Ferguson Subaru will be the only dealership we use. We are proud to be part of the Ferguson and Subaru family!"  - Sarah J. 02/03/17

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has impressed more than just our Tulsa area shoppers. AutoTrader is one of the most trusted car-shopping brands. For years, AutoTrader has put together a list of 12 vehicles they believe are best-in-class; vehicles they recommend every new car shopper take for a test drive, before making a final purchase. AutoTrader calls these vehicles their 'Must Test-Drive Award' winners! 

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has made AutoTrader's 2017 'Must Test-Drive' Award list! 

The 2017 Impreza was the first model to debut a new design language from Subaru. The new look incorporates hexagonal grille and hawk-eye headlights on a more sculptural body. The 2017 Impreza was also the first model to debut Subaru's newest Global Platform architecture. The new platform gives the sedan greater ride comfort, agility, and crash protection. 

So far, the newly redesigned sedan has been red hot! Impreza sales for April 2017 increased 66.2% over the same month in 2016 and marked the second time that Impreza has topped 8,000 units in a month. Thanks to these strong numbers, the 2017 Impreza has helped Subaru reach its best April in the history of the company! 

Subaru's president and chief operating officer, Thomas Doll, had the following to say about the 2017 Impreza's achievement, "With positive press reaction to the all-new Impreza and upcoming Crosstrek models, we expect even stronger demand as we enter the summer months...We are well positioned for continued success with our crossover models, as well as record sales volume from the all-new Impreza." 

Ferguson Subaru has a large selection of 2017 Subaru Impreza models to choose from. Located in Broken Arrow, we're Northeast Oklahoma's premier Subaru dealer. Visit Ferguson Subaru today to test-drive the all-new Impreza!

Subaru Ascent, Subaru's new third-row SUV

Ever since Subaru discontinued the Tribeca, our Tulsa-area shoppers have been asking us, when is Subaru going to offer a third-row SUV? Today, Subaru gave us the answer! Say hello to the Subaru Ascent! 

Granted Subaru has only revealed an Ascent concept car, at this point in time. However, the production Ascent will undoubtedly be very similar. 

We can hear the praise already. For our Tulsa-area families who have to haul around little ones, a third-row seat is often a necessity. The new Subaru Ascent gives hope to Oklahoma, Subaru shoppers who need an SUV larger than the Outback. 

Both the design concept and the production Ascent will feature an all-new turbocharged direct injection boxer engine. The Ascent production model will be based on a modified version of Subaru's Global Platform; which debuted on the 2017 Impreza and can be found on the newly redesigned 2018 Crosstrek. Additionally, we know the upcoming Subaru Ascent will come standard with Subaru's famous Symmetrical All-Wheel drive.

We know the announcement of the new Subaru Ascent is welcome news for our Tulsa-area shoppers have been waiting for a third-row, Subaru SUV. Your wait is almost over. Ferguson Subaru, Northeast Oklahoma's premiere Subaru dealer, is excepting the new Ascent three-row crossover to arrive at our Broken Arrow dealership early 2018.

It's Almost Here, the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek!

The redesigned 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is set to debut March 7th at the Geneva auto show. The only teaser photo that Subaru has released hints at a new Crosstrek with a few design cues taken from the XV Concept that was shown during the 2016 Geneva Auto Show; design cues such as a sporty side profile and similarly designed taillights. 

Watch the unveiling of the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek at the following web address:

http://www.subaru-global.com/ms2017/geneva

With its outdoor attitude and outstanding ground clearance, the Subaru Crosstrek has become a favorite among our Tulsa-area shoppers; including Rick Couri. Local voice of Tulsa football, Rick Couri, takes his Subaru Crosstrek on fishing and scuba diving adventures. 

Not much is known about what Subaru's engineers have done to the all-new 2018 Crosstrek. We expect the 2018 Crosstrek will be fitted with Subaru's new global platform underpinning that was introduced on the 2017 Subaru Impreza. The 2017 Impreza was also equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque; which we expect to power the 2018 Crosstrek, as well. 

Subaru will undoubtedly continue its reputation for industry-leading safety with the release of the 2018 Crosstrek. The 2017 Crosstrek was awarded a 2017 Top Safety Pick by the IIHS and received the highest rating of five stars for its overall rating by the NHTSA. The 2018 Crosstrek will likely be equipped with Subaru's award-winning Eyesight driver assist system that offers drivers crash prevention technologies, such as: Reverse Automatic Braking, Automatic Pre-Collision Braking, Blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist function, and lane departure warning.

Check out demonstrations of Subaru's Automatic Pre-Collision Braking and Reverse Automatic Braking systems!

Ferguson Subaru Sponsors 2016 Ruts N' Guts Cyclocross Races

Ferguson Subaru was honored to sponsor the 7th annual, 2016 Ruts N' Guts. Ruts N' Guts is a weekend-long, professional off-road bicycling, also known as cyclocross, competition event. The competition consists of Category 1 and Category 2 races, sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the international governing body for the sport of cycling. 

Ruts N' Guts draws cyclocross athletes from around the world, and has put Broken Arrow, Oklahoma on the map in the world of international cycling. As in years past, the 2016 Ruts N' Guts was held at Broken Arrow's Chisholm Trail Park; directly next to the Northeastern State University's Broken Arrow campus. This year the race organizers also included a Craft Brew Festival for participants to enjoy. 



Ferguson Subaru brought out several new Subarus to showcase on the cycling course; including a lifted 2017 Subaru Outback with Off-road Package! 

Lifted 2017 Subaru Outback with Off-road Package

Ruts N' Guts embodies the spirit of a lot of our Subaru customers - people who have a love for the outdoors, and an infectious thrill for life. Ferguson Subaru is honored to support Ruts N' Guts and the sport of cyclocross in the state of Oklahoma!

Tribeca's Replacement - The Next Large SUV from Subaru

There are many appealing qualities that can explain Subaru's success in America and Oklahoma. Two of the most notable include Subaru’s long-lasting value and symmetrical all-wheel drive. In fact, 96% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today, and Subaru has the best-selling all-wheel drive cars in America for the past 6 years! 

Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard on their entire line-up of vehicles, minus the BRZ. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive continually keeps the power routed to all four wheels, ensuring an outstanding grip in snow, rain or rough road. It's one of the top reasons Tulsa area drivers are turning to Subaru. 

While all these qualities are great, there's one thing that's been missing in Subaru's arsenal, for quite some time, and that is a large SUV. Not since Subaru discontinued the Tribeca has there been a Subaru vehicle that can fit up to seven passengers. We hear it all the time from our customers. They want a Subaru that can hold more people. After all, using Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive to explore the great outdoors is much funnier when you can bring along friends and family. Subaru recently unveiled a new concept that gives hope for such a vehicle! 

In November, Subaru introduced the all-new Subaru VIZIV-7 SUV concept at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. The name gives away its biggest appeal, VIZIV-7; as in it can carry up to seven passengers! VIZIV is a name derived from Vision for Innovation. The VIZIV-7 concept has three-row seating, and gives us a prototype for the next large SUV from Subaru. 

At the release of the Subaru VIZIV-7 SUV concept, Subaru promised a production version of the large SUV will be introduced to the North American market in early 2018. Subaru's corporate executive vice president, Takeshi Tachimori, stated “We know customers in this segment want a full-sized vehicle and the next 3-row from Subaru will be the biggest Subaru vehicle ever.” 

So to our Tulsa-area shoppers, be patient. It won't be long before Ferguson Subaru will be able to offer a 7-passenger Subaru! The large SUV will undoubtedly be fitted with Subaru's all-important symmetrical all-wheel drive. Just imagine the possibilities!

All-new 2017 Subaru Impreza Heads to Oklahoma!

From the Hoosier state to the Sooner state, the 2017 Subaru Impreza is on its way! The first all-new 2017 Impreza rolled off the assembly line at Subaru's production plant in Indiana, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA). There are many Subaru fans, including those at our dealership, who have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the all-new Impreza! 

The new 2017 Subaru Impreza is the first vehicle built using the new Subaru Global Platform architecture that is designed to enhance driving pleasure, agility, comfort, and safety. The 2017 Impreza is equipped with new driver assist technology, and new multimedia features. As with previous generations, every Impreza is equipped standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a SUBARU BOXER engine. The new '17 Impreza will be available in base, Premium, Sport and Limited trim lines, and is available in sedan and 5-door models. 

Best of all, the new 2017 Impreza will be built, right here, in America! The Impreza has historically been produced only in Japan; however, Subaru decided to move the production of the Impreza to the U.S. because of increasing American demand for Subaru vehicles - like eight consecutive years of increased Subaru sales in the U.S! 

“In a time when some manufacturers are moving work out of the United States, we’re proud to be bringing Subaru Impreza production to the heartland of America,” said Tom Easterday, Senior Executive Vice President of SIA. SIA is the first U.S. auto plant to achieve zero landfill. By reducing, reusing and recycling, SIA avoids sending any waste to a landfill for disposal. 

It's roughly a ten hour drive from Subaru's Indiana plant to our Broken Arrow, Subaru dealership. While we know it won't make a straight shot to Broken Arrow, we can tell you that it is on its way! The 2017 Subaru Impreza is almost here!

Our Pursuit Of Making Knowledge Available To As Many Minds As Possible

Ferguson Subaru is proud to call Oklahoma home. While there is plenty for Oklahoma to be proud about, it's well known that the education system in our state is hurting. According to the National Education Association, Oklahoma ranks 49th in expenditures per student [1] and 48th in average salaries for public school teachers [2]. 

On top of being paid well below the national average, Oklahoma teachers, on average, spend up to $500 of their own money, each year, on supplies for their classrooms. Needless to say, it's not always easy to be a teacher in the state of Oklahoma. 

At Ferguson Subaru we have a Love Promise commitment to making a positive impact in the world in which we live and work. It’s our aim to spread this impact as far as we can. As part of our Subaru Loves Learning initiative - to make the pursuit of knowledge available to as many minds as possible - Ferguson Subaru teamed up with Kendall Whittier Elementary for our 2016 Subaru School Supply Drive. 

Kendall-Whittier is an elementary school located in north-central Tulsa, just west of the University of Tulsa campus. The school has been providing students in the area a place to grow and learn for generations. Kendall-Whittier Elementary is a lighthouse to our community. According to the school, “As a Title I school, we don’t require that students bring school supplies at the beginning of the year to respect the limited financial situations of many of our families.” 

For the 2016 Subaru School Supply Drive, Ferguson Subaru raised school supplies during the month of August. At the end of the month, our Ferguson team, along with Fergie Bear - our Tulsa-area community mascot - drove a stuffed Subaru Crosstrek to Kendall-Whittier Elementary, and presented teachers with the donations. In the spirit of making a positive impact, Ferguson Subaru also donated $500 to Kendall Whittier Elementary!

Ferguson Subaru Sponsors Another Great Bark Walk

Since the year 2000, Ferguson Subaru has been a presenting sponsor of the annual Bark Walk. Once again, Ferguson Subaru was at the 2016 TBRO Bark Walk! This year we brought out a red 2016 Subaru Forester, a blue 2016 Subaru Outback, and a white 2016 Subaru BRZ. 

 

The Tulsa Bark Walk is a fun-filled family event held every year, in April. The event includes pet adoptions, food trucks, $20 microchipping, and even has a kids zone! The past two years TBRO has held the event at Chisholm Trail South, next to the NSU Broken Arrow campus. The event is a wagging' good time for the whole family, and Ferguson Subaru is proud to be a long-time sponsor of the event. 

TBRO is a 501(c)3 non-profit; volunteer ran organization committed to rescuing unwanted and abandoned purebred Boxers in the state of Oklahoma. According to the group's Facebook page, they started out rescuing dogs on a small scale in the Tulsa area, and grew to become a statewide organization. TBRO, "rescues nearly 400 Boxers a year from all over the state of Oklahoma. Many of our dogs available for adoption and our foster homes are located in Oklahoma City, as well as Tulsa." 

Funds raised from Bark Walk help support The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma by allowing the organization continue to save the lives of homeless animals and help promote animal welfare. 

 

Ferguson Subaru Partners with Guide Dogs For The Blind

Guide Dogs For The Blind is an organization that according to their vision statement, "envisions a world with greater inclusion, opportunity and independence by optimizing the unique capabilities of people and dogs."

The organization was founded shortly after WWII, when the company's founder saw the need for aid to wounded veterans who returned from the war; veterans who were now blind or visually impaired. Through their exceptional breeding, puppy raising and training programs they quickly began to grow, and soon spread Guide Dogs For The Blind branches across the country. One of those branches was Lone Star Guide Dog Raisers.

Lone Star Guide Dog Raisers, based out of Texas, began with only six guide dog puppies and now has 186 dogs in training! The organization is made of volunteers who are all dedicated to raising their dogs and facilitating life-changing opportunities for the visually impaired.

The abilities Lone Star guide dogs possess (especially after their training is complete) is simply amazing. The dogs can detect changes in their owner's blood sugar and alert them well before any harmful symptoms arise; simply by smell. It takes 12 to 14 weeks to fully train their dogs.

During the Subaru Share the Love Event, Ferguson Subaru (and Subaru dealers across the country) donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased. New Subaru owner have a choice for that $250 donation to go to one of six charities. For Ferguson Subaru customers, Lone Stare Guide Dog Raisers is one of those six charities.

Last year, through the Share the Love campaign, Ferguson Subaru helped raise nearly $13,000 for Lone Star Guide Dog Raisers. Sandy Alsworth, Community Field Rep. for Lone Star Guide Dog Raisers, said that money went to transportation needs, breeding and medical equipment.

The Subaru Share The Love fundraising campaign is once again around the corner, and Ferguson Subaru is proud to renounce our renewed partnership with Lone Star Guide Dog Raisers. Several volunteers and "puppies in training" drove up from Texas, to our Broken Arrow Subaru dealer in preparation for the campaign. Ferguson Subaru owner, Jerry Ferguson, presented a check of $6,145 to launch the campaign!
